Felt very strange and bleak, like I was reading something out of the twilight zone. It wasn't at all what I was expecting to read based on your funhouse thread (but in a good way!)
At first I felt pity for the main character, when he envisioned his mother's hand coming from the lamp. It took me by surprise how quickly that pity turned into disgust. For me, the road to insanity felt a little bit rushed, that's really my only nitpick about the story. Also, the scene with Jerry and Donna at dinner sounds a lot like a friend of mine and his girlfriend, haha. Absolutely believable.
It's always good to read your stuff, Kyle.
